My mom called from Florida to ask about a 22 rifle I gave my brother for Christmas. He asked me for a gun because someone has been trying break into his apartment and was scared. My mom told me my brother was in the hospital. Apparently the police came by about the breakins saw his rifle and took it. My mom told me if I or my brother wanted it back we would have to go see the judge....how messed up is that. I call that stealing. Since when is it illegal to own a squirrel gun. I'm a thousand miles away. I haven't spoken to my brother maybe my mom is lying? So cops just take guns now if you are not there to protect them. I had a friend kill himself in my house a couple years back while I was away fishing. My mossberg 500 12gauge came up missing, there were over 20 cops in my house, I asked the detective about it and of course they said they didn't take it....I guess it just walked out on its own?

By the way...no one killed anyone on my street yesterday, last week, last month last year....sure you hear guns shots I can't remember anyone shooting anyone the six years I've lived here.....gun control is about hitting what you aim at.....funny, the two things obama is worried about is gun control and no immigration laws, hey, just invite the mexican drug lords to the white house...LOL, did he say WE were all immigrants once, maybe obama is, I was born here and have my birth certificate to prove it.

Police state that has it's own laws....fuck the Constitution is what they are saying they are above the laws they pass without reading. If we have no say in our own country what business does this country have supplying weapons and overthrowing sovereign nations? Why do we pay taxes again....so we can attack other countries and commit war crimes in the name of spreading democracy.....how do these politicians in washington sleep at night?

"WHY SHOULD there always be this fear and slaughter between us?" said the Wolves to the Sheep. "Those evil-disposed Dogs have much to answer for. They always bark whenever we approach you and attack us before we have done any harm. If you would only dismiss them from your heels, there might soon be treaties of peace and reconciliation between us." The Sheep, poor silly creatures, were easily beguiled and dismissed the Dogs, whereupon the Wolves destroyed the unguarded flock at their own pleasure.

THE WOLVES thus addressed the Sheepdogs: "Why should you, who are like us in so many things, not be entirely of one mind with us, and live with us as brothers should? We differ from you in one point only. We live in freedom, but you bow down to and slave for men, who in return for your services flog you with whips and put collars on your necks. They make you also guard their sheep, and while they eat the mutton throw only the bones to you. If you will be persuaded by us, you will give us the sheep, and we will enjoy them in common, till we all are surfeited." The Dogs listened favorably to these proposals, and, entering the den of the Wolves, they were set upon and torn to pieces.

A WOLF followed a flock of sheep for a long time and did not attempt to injure one of them. The Shepherd at first stood on his guard against him, as against an enemy, and kept a strict watch over his movements. But when the Wolf, day after day, kept in the company of the sheep and did not make the slightest effort to seize them, the Shepherd began to look upon him as a guardian of his flock rather than as a plotter of evil against it; and when occasion called him one day into the city, he left the sheep entirely in his charge. The Wolf, now that he had the opportunity, fell upon the sheep, and destroyed the greater part of the flock. When the Shepherd returned to find his flock destroyed, he exclaimed: "I have been rightly served; why did I trust my sheep to a Wolf?"

WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations." The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

As the Founding Fathers knew well, a government that does not trust its honest, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens with the means of self-defense is not itself worthy of trust. Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant, of the people. -- Jeff Snyder

People do terrible things -- and people do terrible things in the name of "freedom" -- like bombing people in other countries to make them "free" or enabling the criminals and the insane to buy guns to kill innocent people using the excuse that guns make us "free" and restricting access to law-abiding citizens would hamper our ability to shoot people when we disagree with people who represent our elected governments. The rule of law is basic to all civilization -- and that includes the Constitution. But the Constitution does not say that government cannot regulate the sale of weapons to criminals and the insane -- only the NRA says that -- and the NRA is wrong. We can and should regulate the sale of weapons -- and we should do it effectively to reduce the obscene level of gun violence that is now the grotesque hallmark of life in America.

The guy who shot this sweet young girl can buy all the guns he wants -- no background check -- he should send a thank you note to the NRA.
